DISC1 (KIAA0457)

DISC1 (Disrupted in Schizophrenia 1), is a protein that is encoded by the DISC1 gene in humans. Ma et al. (2002) determined that the mouse Disc1 gene maps to chromosome 8 in a region with homology of synteny to human chromosome 1q42. Ozeki et al. (2003) demonstrated that rodent Disc1 expression displayed pronounced developmental regulation, with the highest levels in late embryonic life during development of the cerebral cortex. Millar et al. (2005) showed that DISC1 interacts with the UCR2 domain of phosphodiesterase-4B, implicated in susceptibility to schizophrenia, and that elevation of cellular cAMP leads to dissociation of PDE4B from DISC1 and in increase in PDE4B activity.\n\nUniProt Number:\nQ9NRI5\n\nGene ID:\nDISC1\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
